My dealer finally updated my FW to 3/2020/58.

One complaint was that the scroll wheel preforms as expected on everything except Apple Music. As the photo below shows, I always get the message "Please Wait".

This used to work, but when I complain about this the dealer always says the scroll wheel is working correctly. How do they come to that conclusion? Is there a way for them to test that particular feature without pairing an iPhone with Apple Music?

This also happens as well with an iPod Touch connected via cable to either USB port. Using a genuine apple cable lessened it but still happens often enough.

I did notice that if shuffle is turned off, it happens less. I did get better results by setting up a playlist of all the songs in alpha order with no shuffling. That playlist does not exhibit the "please wait". I have about 10K songs spread over ~60GB.

I think the car does not understand what song is served up next by the apple device if the car is on shuffle and apple device is on shuffle so its waiting for some sort of a static list and not getting it so showing "please wait" - completely speculative on my part however.

Thanks. I do use shuffle and your explanation fits.

I used an AM playlist without shuffle and the scroll wheel worked as expected.

While I no longer have Apple Music, I still have all of my music preloaded onto my iphone X. This happens every now and then. The only consistent fix I've found is to disconnect CarPlay and switch it back to idrive then reconnect it to carplay. It's annoying but it always fixes the issue.

Good to know, thanks for confirming!

I've had this issue too on my 2020 X5 M50i running 11/2020/70.

I've found that 90% of the time when I reset my iPhone (power down, power up), it starts to work again. Only happened a few times.

The remaining 10% of the time, it's usually remedied by doing the iDrive reset (holding power button in for 20-30 secs).

Good luck,

Adam

Just to clarify so are you saying these resets then allow your you wheel in the HUD to scroll even when using the shuffle feature of Apple Music?

Xeno, these resets seemed to fix the "please wait" error that I was constantly getting when trying to use the scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
